(b) The single blended consumer loan rate that results from the total amount of finance charges that the licensee would receive through the scheduled maturity of the consumer loan at the consumer loan rates that otherwise would be applicable pursuant to subdivision (a) of this paragraph to the different portions of the unpaid principal balance, assuming that the consumer loan will be paid according to its agreed terms.

(b) A periodic rate corresponding to the single blended annual percentage rate that would result in a periodic finance charge during a monthly billing cycle that is not more than the finance charges that result from the application of the multiple periodic rates authorized by subdivision (a) of this paragraph.

C. A licensee may charge a fixed or variable rate of periodic finance charges on a consumer revolving loan or a home equity revolving loan, as provided by the agreement that establishes the consumer revolving loan or home equity revolving loan. The licensee shall not base a variable rate of periodic finance charges on an index that is under the control of the licensee. Unless the consumer can readily verify the index on which an adjustment in the rate of periodic finance charges is based, the licensee shall provide conspicuous notice of the rate adjustment at least one monthly billing cycle before the effective date of the rate adjustment. The licensee may include a rate adjustment notice on or with a periodic statement to the consumer. The corresponding annual percentage rate of periodic finance charges may not increase or decrease more than three percentage points in any period of twelve consecutive months, and the corresponding annual percentage rate of periodic finance charges may not increase or decrease more than seven percentage points above or below the initial annual percentage rate of periodic finance charges at the time the consumer revolving loan or home equity revolving loan is established.
D. Except as permitted by subsection E of this section, prepaid finance charges commonly referred to as points are prohibited.
E. In addition to the finance charges authorized in subsections A, B and C of this section, a licensee may contract for and receive, and collect finance charges on, nonrefundable prepaid finance charges or fees commonly referred to as points in an amount of not more than:
1. Four per cent of the original principal amount of a consumer loan of at least five thousand dollars secured by the consumer's principal residence.
2. Four per cent of the agreed on credit limit of a home equity revolving loan.
F. If a consumer loan, consumer revolving loan or home equity revolving loan is in existence before the effective date of this amendment to this section and is modified or restructured after the effective date of this amendment to this section and the total new cash advances do not exceed one hundred dollars, a licensee may not contract for and receive periodic finance charges at an annual percentage rate that is higher than the annual percentage rate that existed before the effective date of this amendment to this section.

When you need fast cash in Arizona, whether you live in Phoenix or Kingman, and you have bad credit, where can you turn? Are there any sources for a personal loan for poor credit near you?

You were on your way to work, cruising down 101 in Scottsdale. Just after you passed the university, the idiot in front of you suddenly slammed on his brakes. Unfortunately, his brake lights didn’t come on, so by the time you figured out he’d stopped, it was too late. Your front end ended up in his trunk.

You have no proof that his taillights weren’t working, so the accident is deemed your fault. Sure, your insurance will cover the damage to his car, but you only had liability coverage. Your car is your problem, and it’s going to be $1500 to get it roadworthy again. With your questionable credit history, your bank is not going to give you a loan. You’ve been working on rebuilding your credit, but it’s still not great. Where can you get an unsecured loan to get you out of this jam?

Perhaps you have called Tucson home all your life. You like the house that you’ve been renting with your best friend, but the landlord has announced that she’s selling the place. You have 30 days to find a new home. Unfortunately, you have bad credit thanks to some youthful mistakes with a credit card. Many apartment complexes and property management companies won’t even consider you.

Your roommate comes home, excited. A coworker of theirs is moving out of town and will be renting out his house. The rent is about the same as what you are paying now, and it’s a mile closer to work! You two talk to the guy, and at first he’s hesitant to rent to you. With your poor credit, he’s not sure that he is willing to take the risk. Sure, your current landlord is giving you a glowing reference. You’ve never once been late with the rent. But he’s just not sure. He thinks it over and makes you a deal. If you can put down a deposit, and first and last month’s rent by next Friday, he’ll rent it to you and your friend. Your friend can come up with their half of the $3,600 to make this happen, no problem. You? No. You have $300 to spare right now. Sure, you’ll get your deposit back for this place, but that won’t be until after you move out. That doesn’t help you right now. Where can you get a unsecured loan, with bad credit, for $1,500 by next Friday?
